Leonard Fournette rushes for 65 yards in Buccaneers win Sunday
by Josh Thiessen | Mon, Sep 19th 6:39pm EDT
Leonard Fournette carried the ball 24 times, rushing for 65 yards, while also adding two catches on four targets for nine yards in the Buccaneers' 20-10 win over the Saints.
Fantasy Impact:
Fournette managed to provide at least a little bit of fantasy production Sunday as he led the team heavily in both carries and receptions out of the backfield. If managers had any worry about Rachaad White taking any value away from Fournette they have less to worry about after Sunday as the team made it clear who their bell-cow back is as evidenced by the 27-year-old dominating with his 24 carries. The LSU product has yet to score a touchdown this season, but with a matchup in Week 3 against the Packers he may be set to score his first as Green Bay struggled to limit David Montgomery having given up 122 yards to the back alone. Fournette can be streamed as a fringe RB1/top-end RB2 going forward.
